The NVWF Code of Conduct is strict and serious in our sport. All people associated with the sport are always expected to act with sportsmanship, dignity and respect for others. This includes coaches, parents/spectators, wrestlers, and referees. 

Poor sportsmanship includes:

- Arguing with coaches, officials, teammates, opponents or spectators

- Using threatening or profane language- Baiting or taunting coaches, officials, teammates, opponents or spectators
